I just picked up my boat today after I had it winterized & the oil changed......... OUCH!!! $530 to drain the water, fill the block with antifreeze & change the oil in the engine & the leg. Does that not sound a bit expensive???

I was going to do it myself but I am worried about not draining it properly and having a cracked block, does anyone have any experience with the Mercruisers? There is a drain on my motor with a valve and a couple of blue plugs that have to come out for sure.

It's not only the cost that I don't like but also the fact that I have to winterize the boat at least a couple of weeks early to beat the rush that will come once it starts freezing a bit harder.
